Recipe tips and variations

  • Different oranges will give this chia pudding a different flavour. I like the taste of mandarins, but you can use any type of orange you love.
  • If using a large orange instead of mandarins, use just 1 orange.
  • You can make this recipe with your favourite orange juice if you don’t have fresh oranges on hand. (Though fresh oranges are better!)
  • Prepare this recipe the night before you want to enjoy it, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. This will give it the best texture!

Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Blend the mandarins, coconut milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup together in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add to a mixing bowl with the chia seeds and mix together. Let sit for 5 minutes then give it another mix until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  4. Scoop the chia pudding into bowls or small jars and top with shredded coconut.

Notes

I love the taste of mandarins, but you can use any orange you love. If using a larger orange, you only need 1 orange for this recipe. If you don’t have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of your favourite orange juice. If your chia pudding comes out a bit liquidy, add an extra couple tsp of chia seeds and let sit to soak up the liquid. If your chia pudding is too thick for your liking, add a bit more coconut milk.
